Equipment for the qualification

Have this ready

Concept2 Rower 2 Lifting Bars Plates Pull-up Bar Dumbbells
Weights read male | female

All loads in kg. In mixed teams each athlete lifts their own prescribed load.

Battle The Beach is known for unexpected events — expect at least one movement you have never trained. Swimming and running are required in every division.

Still unsure where you fit?

Rule of thumb: finished the Open at ~80% RX → Intermediate. Could not complete the Open as prescribed → Scaled.
